- Calculating elasticity Draw a set of coordinate axes on a piece of graph paper. Label the horizontal axis from 0 to 50 units and the vertical axis from $0 to $20 per unit. Draw a demand curve that intersects the vertical axis at $10 and the horizontal axis at 40 units. Draw a supply curve that intersects the vertical axis at $4 and has a slope of 1. Make the following calculations for these curves, using the midpoint formula: a. What is the price elasticity of demand over the price range $5 to $7? b. What is the price elasticity of demand over the price range $1 to $3?arrow_forwardTable 5.6 Quantity Supplied Price 10 $10 20 $20 30 $30 40 $40 50 $50 Refer to Table 5.6.
